Smile REALITY

Once again I read a thread where comments are posted indicating a lack of knowledge and commonsense of modern civl aviation practice.

A few Questions/comments -
- where will the spotty faced kids get these 1000-1500hrs ?
- there are not enough T Props or piston twins for all to gain their individual
1000-1500hrs.
- will the 1000-1500hrs be acceptable if gained in in a Level 5/D SIM ?
- MILITARY pilots do not require 1000-1500hrs before they are 'operational'
- My experience is that operational military flying is far more demanding
than anything I have ever experienced in civil flying
- MANY F/Os today are better prepared for the job than the crusty old Capts
when they were F/Os
- I think its called CRM?
